Damn. Every year ya hear of one or two of these. Thoughts and prayers to the hunter and his family.
Is this a different accident? I'm nor sure where Brimfield is, but this on was near Jewett in Harrison County.

Brimfield is east of Akron up in that area. Between Mogador and Kent. It's in Portage county, I believe. I just looked on google maps and that wouldn't be a real far stretch between the two. Maybe an hour at the most. The red pin is New Rumley Road near Jewett.

Maybe not the same guy, but my grandpa broke his leg this morning. He went to Akron General and was in there for a little bit and then all ER staff got prepped for a gun shot victim... Guy got shot turkey hunting! What a shame...
Apparently a 47 year old Akron hunter saw movement and shot at it hitting the kid in the head.... From initial reports not life threatening and as of now labeled an accidental shooting.... Brimfield is just south of kent.... Off of interstate 76...
If its the same guy, my grandma told me the dr said he made it.
Who would just shoot into the brush! Dang people are stupid!!!

A few years ago we snuck in on a gobbler on roost. At fly down it came in and my buddy shot it. After the shot 2 guys stood up about 40 yards on the other side of the tree. None of us knew the others were there. I knew the other guys, we were 4 experienced hunters. Yes I could see how someone could have gotten hurt and it would have been difficult to find fault either way.

When I first got back from californication I worked with a guy and his brother in law shot a guy off of a log thinking he was a turkey.... Fuggin idiot stalked the poor guy listening too him calling....
Joe you're 100% right if they prove stupidity in the shooting hammer them.... Sam that too me would of been accidental... IMHO...

I would consider your situation to be accidental TOO. The saddest part is a different scenario, the scenario where someone is calling and is snuck in on and shot. Such as "J"s scenario. Or the scenario where someone shoots at movement. Ya just hear too many examples of this "negligence".

Calling something an accident doesn't mean there wasn't negligence involved. It just means there were unintended consequences.
